The intrauterine device (IUD) is one of the most effective contraceptive methods. Its Pearl Index is less than 1 per 100 women. It is the most used method around the world: about 100 million users. However, its insertion can cause certain complications, such as infection, expulsion, or perforation

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the management of renal colic in pregnant woman in our hospital. METHODS A retrospective study of 103 pregnant patients, hospitalized for back pain of renal colic type, associated or not with a urinary tract infection, between January 2005 and October 2010. Three groups of

The authors studied using two echographies 90 kidneys in 53 patients free of known urinary tract pathology and not suffering from renal colic, the first immediately before intravenous urography (at a stage of relative fluid restriction) and the second before micturition (at a stage of higher urine

The pathophysiology of renal colic is related to tension exerted on the excretory cavities by an obstruction, generally a stone, causing secretion of prostaglandins which, in turn, increase the renal blood flow and glomerular filtration rate. This results in a vicious circle explaining the effect of

Authors report a case of a 31 years old patient who eliminate a urinary stone which contains a platinium coil. Five years ago, this patient had a percutaneous nephrolithotomy. A persistent hematuria was successfully managed with angioembolization of a lower polar artery branch. One of the coils was

OBJECTIVE To assess the value and feasibility of "tubeless" percutaneous nephrolithotomy (without postoperative nephrostomy tube). METHODS Prospective study of 37 consecutive patients operated by "tubeless" percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) between 1998 and 2007 for renal stones. Inclusion

A 70-year-old man with clinically localised prostate carcinoma underwent extraperitoneal endoscopic radical prostatectomy. His medical history revealed hypertension, renal colic, hypogonadotropic hypogonadism and recurrent deep venous thrombosis in the legs. The operation was uneventful with 500 ml

1,200 extracorporeal lithotripsies have been performed in 816 patients. 58% of the stones had a diameter of 3-10 mm, 41% measured between 11 and 20 mm and 1% were larger than 20 mm. The patients were all treated on an outpatient basis without either anesthesia or analgesia. The mean time spent at

A colour Doppler ultrasound study of the ureterovesical was performed to define the normal features, variants and abnormalities of the ureteric stream by comparing 50 normal subjects and 19 subjects with renal colic due to ureteric stones. The examination included assessment of the frequency,

OBJECTIVE The aim of this article is to present the clinical characteristics and management of an oral adverse effect stemming from the use of the antiretroviral medication Nevirapine (NVP). BACKGROUND NVP is a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor used in the treatment of Human

Hydronephrosis secondary to ureteropelvic junction syndrome (UPJ), especially when it is accompanied by moderate dilatation of the proximal renal cavities tends to be stable with little risk to the kidney. However, there are certain exceptions to this general rule and the situation may very suddenly

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy of JJ catheter as urinary diversion in the treatment of lumbar ureteral lithiasis by ESWL. METHODS Results obtained in our ESWL unit between january 1990 and October 2000 are compared. 680 cases of lithiasis are divided into 5 groups for analysis: Group A: Lumbar

The symptom intensity and mortality of human diseases, conditions, and syndromes exhibit diurnal or 24 h patterning, e.g., skin: atopic dermatitis, urticaria, psoriasis, and palmar hyperhidrosis; gastrointestinal: esophageal reflux, peptic ulcer (including perforation and hemorrhage), cyclic

BACKGROUND Renal infarction is a rare and often difficult diagnosis. The objective of this study was to demonstrate that contrast-enhanced spiral CT in patients presenting features of renal colic, can establish the diagnosis by confirming the presence of infarction of the renal

Acute renal infarction due to emboli represents a very rare but significant threat for kidney loss, and the clinical presentation is challenging. The differential diagnosis of massive renal thrombi includes all other causes of abdominal pain, and they can be easily misdiagnosed as renal colic due to
